Out of the factory, Stop \u0026amp; Start comes back on at every key cycle. This module remembers your last choice and sends it again at the next start. It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can still use the original button at any time.

Turning it off with the button only lasts until the engine is shut down. Owners who sit in stop-and-go traffic, tow, or idle in drive-throughs often prefer it off, and that is where the repeated button press comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScope of the module\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves engine and transmission software untouched.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves no permanent change after removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLets you re-enable the system with the factory button at any time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds the stop-start button state between drives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf stop-start is not engaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Lexus TX 350 that rarely auto-stops is often telling you something about the battery. Stop-start vehicles usually run an AGM or EFB battery, and the system is one of the first features to drop out as that battery ages. Cabin temperature requests, engine temperature and brake pressure also factor in. None of these checks are altered by the module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it connects\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced. Disconnect nothing else and splice nothing. Once both plugs are locked, tuck the harness where it will not be pinched when the panel goes back on. Test by switching Stop \u0026amp; Start off, cycling the ignition and checking the indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDay-to-day use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop-start saves the most fuel in long idles, but plenty of drivers would rather keep the engine running. Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap. On a three-row luxury SUV, any of these can mean a button press at the start of nearly every drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf something does not look right\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the setting is not remembered, check that the module was installed with the ignition off and that the connector clicked into place. Then press the factory button once, switch the vehicle off, close the doors, give the electronics time to shut down, and start again. If it still resets, contact support with the year, trim and a photo of the connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery notes for stop-start vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module draws its power from the vehicle and does not change charging behavior. If your Lexus TX 350 sits for long periods, the same rules apply as without it: a maintainer helps, and a battery that tests weak should be replaced with the type specified for stop-start vehicles (usually AGM or EFB).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuick fitment check\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel year and model match a row in the table above (2024–2026 Lexus TX 350).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Lexus TX 350 has the factory stop-start button.

If a stop-start system is non-latching, meaning it switches back on whenever the vehicle is restarted, the EPA measures fuel economy with the system working. If the driver can switch it off permanently, the EPA tests with it both on and off and averages the two, which gives a lower number. Manufacturers therefore make the system come back on at every start, and drivers who prefer it off end up pressing the button each trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstall prep checklist\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch everything off and take the key or fob out of range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo through the model-specific instructions first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatch the vehicle connector to the module before unplugging anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease clips with a trim tool instead of pulling on wires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListen for the click on each latch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTie the module down so it stays quiet and away from moving parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRun a restart test to confirm the memory works before refitting trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHardware built for frequent restarts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVehicles with stop-start are built for many more engine starts than a conventional car. They typically use an AGM (absorbent glass mat) or EFB (enhanced flooded) battery that tolerates frequent cycling, along with a strengthened starter. The memory module does not change any of that hardware. When the battery reaches the end of its life, replace it with the same type and size listed for your vehicle, because a standard flooded battery is not designed for this duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf something is not right\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting not remembered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check that both connectors are fully latched, then set Stop \u0026amp; Start the way you want it, switch the vehicle fully off and restart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStop-start indicator flashes or shows unavailable:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vehicle is reporting a condition such as low battery charge, high climate demand or a cold engine.

Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Lexus TX 350?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill Stop \u0026amp; Start come back on when I restart my Lexus TX 350?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot if you turned it off before shutting down. The module repeats your last selection at the next start. If you leave it on, it stays on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I remove it later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Unplug the module and reconnect the factory connector; the vehicle returns to its stock default.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same part for every Lexus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Connectors and the module that holds the stop-start state differ by platform, so this SKU is matched to the fitment rows on this page. Send the VIN to support if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Lexus TX 350 need the factory stop-start button for this to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The module works with the factory stop-start system and its button. A vehicle built without stop-start has no setting for it to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does it connect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fix a \"stop-start unavailable\" message?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor. Diagnose and repair that first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my Lexus TX 350 sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory logic checks battery charge, engine temperature, climate load and other inputs. If any are outside range it keeps the engine running. The module does not affect those checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change how the battery is charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Charging is still managed by the vehicle. Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I unplug it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle returns to the factory default, with Stop \u0026amp; Start switched on at every start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Stop \u0026amp; Start turn itself back on every time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomakers set stop-start to default to on at each start. Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping, returns and warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free to the contiguous US.
